Extract

This concise overview of English as an international language is written so clearly that not only does it provide an excellent discussion of the major issues in the field, but it also is a highly enjoyable book to read. The central premise in this book is that English is in fact an international language par excellence, and that teaching it as such and doing research in it calls for unique approaches and methodologies.
